ShHD: Winter & household feat – what and about what?
In touch!
Today we will analyze 2 games – ""ShHD: Winter"Or just" It’s Winter "and"Household feat", That is," Routine feat ".
Why two? Because they are practically brothers. But about this in the review. Let’s go!
For super-luners of the text, there is a video version of the review, the link to which will be hidden in the spoiler. I warn you, there is a mat and a "slightly more free exposition of thoughts".
There is such a person who calls himself Ilya Mazo, he has a site where he presented his poems, a book and this game. Actually, on this site you can familiarize yourself with what should be in ShHD. But we don’t run forward.
I saw this as if Ilya Mazo wanted to do something like an interactive film using the text, sounds and the atmosphere with the game on Unity. I think that everything in his head seemed like this, especially if you take into account the chronology in the texts on the site to ShHD and in this order visit the locations of the game. And no. This is still something deep and incomprehensible, as you can’t look, even if the idea is and curious. The author wanted to make household appliances such as washing machine and microwave by real musical instruments, under the melodies and orchestras of which various verses would be performed, turning into their special kind of songs.
At first, without viewing the site, the specifics and clarity of things are very lacking, to which they send or how they should be “drawn” in the head. A lot of white passes, too abstract presentation of pieces by the author. There are also no obvious calls to visit the site, to listen and view the material, the references to which you can look for in the game, problems that could be beaten or voiced … but. Yes. OK.
What is it in general?
I think that a clear and very concrete concept before me was already voiced by such a respected character as Zulin, namely, he said – “Shhd is an example of your first game on Unity”.
Initially, starting to the CHD, I was especially predicted, especially after watching the review of Zulin, but … only this frozen moment hooked me, as Zulin and other players who left negative reviews in Steam did not hook, even if there are concrete, but other reasons for this.
I have been familiar with ShHD for a long time, two years old. And it happens, it pops up in my memory: I want to return there.
“But why? There is nothing to do there?", – you ask.
“Yes, I know,” I will answer, “Hooked and that’s it."
Honestly, you know, I want to, but I can’t call it a game, because this is not a game. Location with practically nothing. Literally. There is only our apartment, entrance, two courtyards and several more houses, absolutely empty. You can safely penetrate some apartments and houses with the help of bugs, but there is still nothing to do there ..
From a technical point of view, it’s just a demo of the location where it is possible to wash off objects into the toilet and they disappear, where it is possible to throw objects into the garbage chute and they also disappear, you can fry some items in the microwave … You can pass through the textures of Abuza, you can slip with seemingly even surfaces and vice versa, you can calmly stand on the wrong on a children’s swing, because this is Unity and his physics, yes, and that’s almost all that you can do here. Yes, technically, this is an infinitely sad little thing – an empty, with a handful of a mechanic and functions, looking as the very first version of the Unturned, which has an average sound and nothing more. But there are three katsets, yes ah ..
But I will notice that I am returning to it not because I want to make my eyes a little shitty, but because of the atmosphere. Some ~lamp ~. Here it is, definitely. BUT! BUT! BUT! But just keep in mind that the concept of the atmosphere is different for everyone-for example, it seems to me with a tube little thing where you can walk and, for example, shoot clinging atmospheric feet, where 8 charcoal snow-pluses fall, where you do not feel frost, where the snowman constantly removes the street, where there is something that was once very long ago, which was almost forgotten but well-remembered but well remembered but well remembered Emotionally. This is the place where I can recall my hometown and moments of it, where I can always breathe in the full chest of cold winter air, diluted with pixels and atmosphere through the monitor screen, this is where I can stay with myself in private, even if there are some kinds of poor fanfares and German applause interspersed around. In the end, one of my most fateful times of the year- winter..
The expressed by me https://monkey-casino.uk/withdrawal/ does not convey before and half of the emotions that I receive from the "ShHD: Winter", but this does not mean that it is worth it for you. Everything is exclusively individual here. In Steam they ask for 259 rubles for it. Risk it or not – your choice. In any case, the refund in Steam still works.
What can be said, verdict -. I can’t imagine what you can do more than two hours here, although I already played about 40.
And … that’s not all!
ShHD: Winter was created not only from the action of Ilya Mazo, he was also helped by the developer of SAD3D, who managed to light up precisely after ShHD. SAD3D itself is already known in order in fairly narrow circles with its arthausian projects, complement musically which volunteers are supplemented by different stripes. Let the developer himself report that the household feat is and SHHD, or simply, winter, are two projects independent of each other. Albeit so, but about the significant continuity of one one from the other here can be mentioned here.
In general, "household feat"!
The main scene is the same microdistrict of two quarters of typical Soviet “panels” located across the road from each other; Even the main character’s apartment in the game remained the same. Well, okay, the environment is that which connects it directly in winter. Who liked the experiment “ShHD: Winter” – will definitely like “household feat” as its summer version.
At the same time, the “household feat” is more friendly to the new audience at the expense of three things: the nostalgic late -Soviet atmosphere, which turned out to be a very warm and lamp, for which you can risk playing, a well -chosen audio, which perfectly serves to maintain this very atmosphere, and the environment that we often meet in everyday life and we see that we say that we say that we say that we say that we say “Lyayaya, nostalgic-ah!".
Yeah, hello, Metro exodus!
Wow, and why should I start ..
From the clock. As in winter, there is also a watch here, and they go where they want ..
We will also start with the fact that the text is like in Prey with facial expressions – more than in war and the world. I am very embellished, of course, but it is enough here, especially if you do not love to read too much. By the way, I’ll notice that poems in books are rather cool, not breaking in random places, are well knocked down and coffee. In addition to verses, there are simply some essays that all sorts of schoolchildren with markers like to leave at stops. It happens that there are simply thoughts-excitements, micro-stories, samples in a monologue that should look like a dialogue with a player. If you are not a completely unemployed person, this should cause you at least some, but response. Also, by the way, I would like to add about dreams, but in order.
Money also appeared in the game, they can be selected and … nothing more. Just pick up. There is still nowhere to spend them here.
For the musical content in the game, I want to shake the hand for everyone who at least somehow contacted him, for he is just excellent. All the time I played, every morning and night I turned on and just listened. And what can I say, check yourself ..
All sorts of inscriptions accidentally appear in the entrance, and it is exactly what is by chance: today there may be the inscription “Smile!", And tomorrow there may be just nothing, or some" you@I@you@I@"(joke, of course, but the meaning is clear). It’s funny, but each time you really want to read these things, peer into them and try to guess, “why is it here at all?". By the way, yes, you can still examine this marvelous micro-mane-world from the height of the roof of the 8th floor. What, what is cool. I tried to drag a radio on the roof, but, alas, nothing succeeded. By the way, it is better not to come closer to the farthest houses – you will be very disappointed.
In the courtyard of our house, we are waiting for the same yard from ShHD, but with some differences – it is amazing, but there is no snow, the trees are greener, the sun is and it is bright, the birds chirp, the garbage area appeared where you can digest and make money, which is strange; And instead of snow -drifters from ShHD, ordinary groove.
There is one reference to the SHHD snowman – it stands in one of the garages, the entrance to which is slightly ajar, but it is impossible to interact with it or with the garage. Here, everything can also be washed away into the void of teapots and other items, you can bake potatoes to black and the like, but I want to do it here much less than in the same chrohd, because, unlike chrohd, there is a certain idea that all this seems to me belongs to me.
This was not in the ShHD, everything seemed “someone else”, but certainly not yours, it was for this Bedlam in the kitchen to create where it is as it is easier than here, because there is a feeling that there will be some kind of fleeting harmony here here. But then you come home from work, yes, she is here, and you see that everything will subside absolutely again and in perfect order. No matter how you try to put up this apartment – in the morning or after work, everything will be removed here. The bachelor’s dream is straight.
Also, in all this location, music literally plays from the bushes. Why? The devil knows. But this is pretty … cute? Why no. All the same better than nothing. A fairly pleasant track played from one of the houses, I stood there for about 5 minutes just listening to music and admiring, as far as possible, the local beauties.
Just like that, aimlessly walk around this world quickly bothers. Why? Just because there is nothing more. So, a pair of a couple scattered here and there are garages, 2 quadrators, trash, stop and all, nothing more. Compared to ShHD, of course, there is a small increase in the number of buildings, locations and details, but no more.
This groove stops exactly a few meters before the stop and in which you can do whatever you like, we are lucky for a certain job, where we will need to do the same as at home behind the printing machine – rape the button E. At a certain moment, the computer surrenders, the sun sits down and the door opens to the exit, releasing us from our beloved work at the factory back to our world.
Spended under the onslaught of a computer at work. Hmm, it is probably difficult to program when all the characters are any squares, or sausages-straight-angles ..
Upon arrival, we see that on the street it is quite an evening and brings us all the same Pazik, but the last one: no one else will come, and there is no need. We stomp home, where you can do everything, too, wash the kettle in the toilet in the morning, there is bread and cucumbers who responds every time, continue to write a book or just take a radio to the balcony and sit listening to the music to a new open look.
Exactly at that moment it ends you to entertain – it’s time to go to bed. And then the most interesting begins. Every time you go to bed you will fall into various locations where you will need to do something; to knock on the door, lie down in the bed, approach an incomprehensible thing and get involved with her … Alas, I have not seen more dreams, because I went through the game for 3 and a half game days, but they seemed to me one of the most interesting pieces in the game – stylish, beautiful, crying, in places whistling and farting, but still interesting.
After these same interactions, you wake up and … yes, You need to work again. And so endlessly. Well, or until you write a book. And what will happen after that, I will leave behind the scenes – I love reviews without spoilers that you can do.
From a technical point of view, a household feat is a little less, but still the same sad little thing as a chrohd: winter. Any other apartments except the player’s apartment – all the same boxes with balconies, which no one will cause problems at all, because the textures here have bang the rest of everything else – just like in a chrohd to rest with a clamped shift and just turn the mouse. Flying skyscrapers, which are visible from the roof – just tin. In the second courtyard, there is simply no road and sidewalks, there is no physical fixation in Pazik. Breaking the game is not even specially too easy, and even if you try, pfff ..
And you know, even if in a sense, the continuation of the winter, a little more worked out and modified, where a good sound and sound, where more interesting things were added, the same dreams, for example, where the plot was washed down, where they brought a cart with good graphomaniac and poetry-she still went less to me than “SHHD: Winter”. Why? And everything is quite simple-it cannot be somehow special to associate yourself with the intra-game character. All these problems and experiences seem so far-fetched and artificial, stupid and simple that you just want to shake your head, they say "yes ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhind
Yes, there are beautiful things in their own, somewhat jamming the text in their heads and entertaining poems, but they are presented all at once, this is their problem. If they were served portions, for example, a player would be written through a printing machine, it would be a completely different matter. So that they are not just “on the shelf”, so that the player was really interested in reading them, so that there was some kind of challenger. Simple books in the closet and under the TV – not everyone will pay attention to them, not to read them, and even all. Here I would like to praise and at the same time scold a little chronicle for a book that jumps out of the garbage chute, reading which something new was written every time. I praise for it. But the font on which everything is written there … Mdyaiaayaaiyaya ..
In general, the verdict is also as a state, even if it is free. You can try, especially if there is nothing to do and nowhere to put time, or if you really like poetry with notes of sadness, litigation of life and other sadistic inclinations towards your mind. She, of course, is not about this, but if you plunge especially deep in everything – you can expect about such a palette of emotions.
Such things, comrades! “Who is d’Artagnan and who Three or two times»As always, you decide.
